The 94-95 hatchback suck for noise! I tried the expensive Dynamat behind the side panels and didn't get much bang for the buck. So, I went back to old school. There's not enough room for much insulation in the floor so I coated the entire floor board & side walls including under the spare with Quite Car coating and added open cell sheet insulation to the bottom of the boot mat. Then I bought a roll of Johns Manville R25 insulation and packed the side walls. I spent over a hundred on the Dynamat that didn't do much and a whole 19 bucks for the roll of Manville. Also, I used a roll of aluminum tape to get the fiberglass to conform to the panels and it killed the sound far better than the Dynamat. You can take the roll of Manville and strip it down to any size thickness you want to work with. I had half a roll left after covering both side panels and the back panel. Good thing as I was still getting too much suspension noise and found we have no insulation at all under the carpet. Just the rubber carpet mat. So I pulled the carpet and used the rest of the roll under the carpet at the way back under the rear seat.

Nice quite ride now. The Dynamat might work well in the doors but haven't tried that as She's quite enough now.
